Exceptional Determination! That is what it takes to reclaim our rightful place of wonderful health. It is difficult in this 24/7 world of stress and processed food but the goal is reachable.The practice of Nutritional Therapy is a little different than other nutrition consultants. We have many tools in which we use to get a very thorough understanding of where our clients are nutritionally and what systems we can support for optimal health. We use a detailed symptom survey, a thorough interview, a food journal and we also conduct a hands-on functional evaluation. The functional evaluation is a process in which I will check many different reflex points on the body in order to determine specific nutritional deficiencies.
After I conduct the evaluation, I will test different supplements against the results so that I may provide you with a tailored protocol that is specifically designed for you. Your body will make it clear what supplements you respond to favorably and what will aide you in your path to reach optimal health.

Mental Health
It seems the biggest threat to people's mental health is stress and how we handle the stress that will inevitably come into our lives helps determine our health. Even "good" stress can have an impact. I experienced this in the transition of moving from Florida to Colorado. I wanted this change in my life more than anything and was enjoying every minute of it. Even so, I was clenching my jaw during sleep enough to effect my teeth and cause pain in the TMJ (temporomandibular joint). I had to find a way to relax in all my excitement. Bryan has been practicing meditation for 31 years, particularly Transcendental Meditation. I am sure this is why Bryan is such an even tempered human. I have learned and practiced this type of meditation on and off, too, but have a harder time sitting still and quieting my mind. We found another type of relaxation method called Hemi-Sync. I can passively listen to a CD and it elicits a profound relaxation response that is easier to attain for me, a hyper person.

Regardless of how you achieve relaxation, it is a necessary part of health to practice a quiet state. Some people claim to do this by watching TV. I recently read the average person watches 5 hours of television a day! The problem with TV is there is no response necessary from the viewer, it is one way communication. We had a friend who's mother had Alzheimer's and they asked the doctor what they could do to slow the deterioration. The doctor told them to keep her away from the TV as much as possible because it did nothing to exercise the neurons in her brain. I am sure this is why it feels relaxing to people because they can shut down brain activity.  Meditation is just another aspect of total health.
